Creator's Key Takeaways

We did tour the Margaritaville at Sea Islander about 4 months ago, but since then there has been a new space added and we finally know where the speak easy is.

This is definitely the place if you want to catch any sporting events. They have so many TVs and the games are always on.

Super worth it in our opinion. It is paid for, but it's incredible.

Huge fan of the food they've been offering for dinner every night. Carbonara fries, a chicken tender station. It's been delicious.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to shows early in the Coral Reef Lounge as it packs up quickly.
Use the casino hack by checking daily letters in your stateroom for free money on port days.
Consider booking a suite for access to the concierge lounge with free coffee, soda, and water.
Reserve the speakeasy experience when on board as it's a must-do.
Try the buffet for breakfast in the morning as it's less busy than the main area.
